I agree with you, it's not a Microsoft-exclusive DRM issue... yet. But if WMP becomes a de-facto standard, DRM will be de-facto in the hands of Microsoft.
Whatever you think of DRM, I think you'll agree that it better be controlled by governments (UE, US...) who are after all elected by voters, than by a corporation, which only answers to shareholders (and... uh, to clients, but Microsofts seems to be an exception here)

Surely we could adapt their Air Defense system -so efective against probes and landers- to shoot down asteroids. Outsourcing is not necessarily a bad thing

I DID that. However I did it out of an impulse. Who can blame me for that? There.
Anyway the comment was not completely worthless! I considered myself using one of those Cappuccinos for server purposes. I was quickly discouraged by reviews from/. and other places. BUT it would be funny if someone did, wouldn't it? Or would it?
... one of Weta's biggest problems was the lack of space, which prompted the move to blade servers - slim units containing processors and memory which slide into a separate chassis containing power units, fans, floppy drives, switches and connections to the other servers.
Why not use a cluster of Cappuccinos then? They fit neatly into the previous description, don't they?

Want Microsoft DRM, non-compliance to standards, and who-knows-what in the future too? It's to avoid this that these sanctions are being applied.
Sounds sensible to me

Trains from Paris to Madrid use standard-gauge in France and switch to spanish-gauge without stopping, thanks to its variable gauge axles .
